Default RE: What would you build for these beasts?

Nick,

great suggestion. I actually own a 30 year old Speed 61 SE - probably the first generation since it has no holes tapped for the header or muffler. I bought a Macs strap on muffler for it but I'm not thrilled with the setup. I figured that one day I'd get someone who's handy on a mill to tap some screw holes into it. There are a couple of parts that I'm also missing for the dynamix carb on it so it has laid asleep in its bed for the last three decades. Now that Webra has folded, I'm glad that I decided to keep it all these years.

The Speed 80 shown in the photos above is much more recent in terms of production. It is also a 13x10 turner so I have to select an airframe that can handle that prop and power both in size and in clearance.

David.
